Clean sheets

3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 8 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.1, Arnstad carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superliga of 15 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
